world did not become three-dimensional for her. However, she continued to try, and at the age of 48, she corrected her two-dimensional vision to three-dimensional, which was previously considered fundamentally impossible. In her book "Blind Physiology," the author tells two stories: about a boy who learned to see and a girl who learned to hear, and also about how the acquisition of new senses affects people differently. Is it really a blessing to learn to see or hear? How do people live after surgeries to restore their senses if their entire familiar world has changed fundamentally? Susan Barry answers such questions, explaining in simple language the mechanisms of the brain and the sensory organs themselves – our eyes and ears.
